Do some Christians doubt the afterlife sometimes?

I certainly believe God exists and I utterly hate him(I'm a maltheist by the way) but I do have doubts that there is an afterlife.

    I have full faith in what the bible teaches regarding what happens to us when we die.

    The Bible often compares death to sleep. (Psalm 13:3; John 11:11-14; Acts 7:60) A person who is fast asleep is unaware of what is happening around him. Likewise, the dead are not conscious of anything. Yet, the Bible teaches that God can awaken the dead as if from sleep and give them life again. (Job 14:13-15) For those whom God resurrects, death is not the end of everything.

    Many millions of people who are dead in the grave will return to life on earth. Even some who did not know God and who practiced bad things will be resurrected.—Read Luke 23:43; Acts 24:15.

    Resurrected ones will be able to learn the truth about God and to exercise faith in Jesus by obeying him. (Revelation 20:11-13) Those who return to life and do good things will be able to enjoy life forever on earth.—Read John 5:28, 29.

    Since there are millions of Christians I'm sure that some have doubts about every thing. Why do you hate God, do you hate that He created everything or would you rather that there be nothing? Do you hate that He gave us freewill that lets us hate or love him or would you rather be like robots? Do you hate that He loves us so much that He sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die as payment for our sins or would you rather everyone be doomed to Hell with no way to avoid it?

    I know that you love to tell people that you are a Maltheist because it makes you stand out but I hope that at sometime in your life you will realize that if you return Gods love with hate it can only hurt you and not God.

    We all sin, therefore we are all sinners. Since God is absolutely holy, He cannot be in the direct presence of sinful creatures. Therefore, all who are sinful must be separated from God and cannot be allowed to enter into His home (heaven). Hell is the place where these people must go, away from the presence of God. But God loves us and does not want everyone to go to Hell so he sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the cross as payment for our sins. After 3 days in the grave Jesus overcame death and rose from the dead and walked among men being seen by hundreds of people. In order to receive this gift from Jesus Christ we must make him our Lord and Savior. Pray the sinner’s prayer.

    Dear Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner and I am in need of You and Your forgiveness. I want to turn from my sins and follow You completely. I believe that You are the Son of God who died on the cross for me and all my sins; You were buried, rose to life again and You are coming back. I accept the Father's gift of eternal life through faith and belief in You alone. I receive You as Lord and Savior of every part and area of my life forever and ever. Now Lord, fill me with Your Holy Spirit.

    In Jesus Name.

    Amen

    It is not the prayer that saves you it is Jesus Christ.

    I have brief moments of temptation, but I always pray like so:

    Mark 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

    No. Once you have validated God's word by objective science based on the physical, then the Word of God on spiritual matters will be trusted.

    an afterlife seems so surreal. im not expecting one at all. or a future resurrection as the bible states.

    Do you think you are good? How could you possibly be good and and still think the God who created you is evil?

    Of course and anyone telling you the contrary must be mentally sick or lying to you.
